I interviewed in January both cycles (501 and 502 MCAT)Just out of curiosity, when did you interview when you were going through your app cycle?
OU loves nontrads! It is a strengthInterview invite via email today. Wooh! Nontraditional, in-state, complete 07/30, lower stats.
id expect the week after the next because of thanksgiving breakWhen does OU start sending Acceptances?
When does OU start sending Acceptances?
Wouldn’t hurt at all. Maybe try here [email protected]As an OOS applicant who is very interested in living in this area and has significant ties, would a letter of interest be a good idea? I have not received an interview at this time but am afraid I will be screened out because I'm OOS, though this is one of my top choices (if not my top choice). If so, where should an LOI be sent?
Any tips for the SCM track interview?
Really couldn’t have said it better. Only thing I’d add is to be sure to show interest. Generally, it’s a more relaxed interviewWith their focus on community medicine, it would be a good idea to think about answers that pertain to that. I think I talked a lot about how we need to understand and take care of communities as a whole just as much as the individuals there, what I learned about our local community's health from volunteering at a free clinic and patterns I saw in those patients, etc.
I was sent interview invites on December 4th and 11th the last two cycles. Hope that helps. Good luck and stay positive!When should I get worried? I was complete July 15th. 503 and 3.8 IS. Solid ECs and LOR
No II and multiple people with similar stats have gotten them and are scheduled for late January.
Per MSAR data, 514 on the MCAT and a GPA of 3.8 are both 25th percentile for OOS applicants who were *accepted*. This may sound discouraging at first, but remember, that means that a QUARTER of the entire accepted students who were OOS had the same, or lower, stats compared to you.Any OOS who got IIs? Also, What kind of threshold for stats is expected for OOS? I have an MCAT score of 514 and a GPA of 3.8
Congrats! Do you mind if I ask if you are in-state or out of state?II just now! Completed early August
I’m OOS!Congrats! Do you mind if I ask if you are in-state or out of state?
Yes!! I’m sure I’ll be checking my email every 15 minutes. It’s just my dream school. No big deal or anything.Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear back next week?
Please, my anxiety can only get so high with this being my finals week and the week that I hear back (hopefully) from my top (and only) school.Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear back next week?
I've had butterflies in my stomach since my interview. Hopefully we all get good news!Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear back next week?
Choo Choo!Let me add to the deferred train.
It means that you were not accepted or rejected. The OUCOM Admissions Committee will review your application and others later, once more applicants have interviewed. You’ll hear back in March with either an acceptance, waitlist, or rejection decision.Can someone clarify a deferred status at OU? I didn’t even know they did that.
same for me. I think they only take 60 for the first round so only the outstanding candidates.So why did so many of us just get deferred?
I felt like my interview was okay, not amazing, but solid.
My MCAT is 510, so not stellar or anything, but I was pretty proud of that score and thought it would be enough.
Same here... 2 point lower score of an MCAT, but really felt like that my interview went well. Not amazing, but probably as close to it as I could say. I know it's not it, but waiting till march now just puts a wrench in for what I had hoped to do with my last semester of college.So why did so many of us just get deferred?

Well dang… fingers crossed for all of us! people get pulled off the waitlist all the time, maybe we will be one of those lucky peopleSame here... 2 point lower score of an MCAT, but really felt like that my interview went well.

Same. Feels bad. GG's I guess!Pre II R just now. OOS, 3.7x and 509 with family ties to the state and rural ECs. Disappointed but frankly not surprised I didn't realize how high their OOS stats are
